Study Notes

Online Class Rules

Check surroundings and choose a study space
Use the "raise hand" button to answer questions
Turn on mic when speaking and turn off when others are speaking
Respect and encourage each other
Be honest

Motivation - Spot the Difference

Engage with groupmates in group chats
Examine pictures and identify 3 differences
First group to finish searching will shout "Paro-paro g"
One representative will share the differences found

Biodiversity and the Healthy Society

Biodiversity decline is significant globally, with a 60% decrease in vertebrates since the 1970s
Projected to decline by 67% by 2020 due to human causes
Biodiversity refers to the vast array of life forms on Earth, including organisms and their relationships within ecosystems
Human dependence on biodiversity is evident in daily necessities like clean water, food, and transportation fuel

Threats to Biodiversity

Habitat loss and destruction
Alterations in ecosystem composition
Over-exploitation
Pollution and contamination
Global climate change

Consequences of Biodiversity Loss

Intact ecosystems function best when organisms are specialized to function in that ecosystem
Loss of biodiversity has many consequences, both understood and unknown
Changes in the ecosystem affect livelihood, income, and may cause political conflict

Nutritional Impact of Biodiversity

Biodiversity is a major factor in sustainable food production for human beings
Nutrition and biodiversity are linked at many levels, including the ecosystem and food production as an ecosystem service

Health, Biology, and Biodiversity

All living organisms are dependent on their environment to live and reproduce
Basic needs of living organisms, such as air, water, food, and habitat, are provided by the environment
Advances in agriculture, sanitation, water treatment, and hygiene have had a greater impact on human health than medical technology

Adverse environmental effects, such as food production and healthcare facilities, can have a serious impact on human health
Climate change could deteriorate farming systems and reduce nutrients in some foods
Lower socioeconomic individuals are more exposed to hazardous environmental conditions
Communities should make prudent decisions about housing, workplaces, and worker safety to reduce societal damage
